Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Chapter 143 The Girl Who Lives Alone with Her Grandmother

Campus life is uneventful and peaceful; sunrise and sunset, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

As dusk fell and evening self-study ended, Shen Jingshu returned to her dormitory under the cover of night.

Inside the dormitory, Xu Zhixia and the others had already finished getting ready and were all staring expectantly at the door, looking ready to go.

Ever since they witnessed Shen Jingshu's amazing ability to tell fortunes on live stream, what they look forward to most every night is waiting for her to go live to watch the drama unfold and listen to her answer their questions.

Shen Jingshu didn't return home all night yesterday, and everyone was worried about her all night. However, Li Beichen had already informed the counselor and asked for leave for her in advance, so everyone was relieved.

Upon seeing her return, her roommates immediately surrounded her, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Jing Shu! Can we start broadcasting tonight?"

"It's been so long since we've watched the master's livestream, the fans are going crazy waiting!"

Seeing their expectant looks, Shen Jingshu smiled slightly and stopped being coy and refusing.

Since she had nothing else to do in the evening, and accumulating merit and practicing spiritual cultivation was her daily routine, broadcasting to answer questions and help people resolve their doubts was also a good thing to do.

She tidied up the table, set up her phone, and opened the familiar live streaming interface.

As soon as the live stream started, the previously quiet backstage area was instantly flooded with a massive influx of viewers. Countless longtime fans flocked to the scene, and the barrage of comments scrolled rapidly, densely covering the screen, creating an incredibly lively atmosphere.

Many fans couldn't help but remark on the change in the frequency of the master's live streams:

"Something's not right! The master's been streaming way too often lately!"

"It used to only air once a week, and you could only catch one episode every long intervals!"

"I remember just doing a live stream the day before yesterday, and they did it again today! I'm so happy!"

Some fans quickly spoke up to defend the situation:

"Stop talking nonsense upstairs! We're lucky to be able to watch the master's live stream every day!"

"Exactly! We wish the master would go live every day, so we could have fresh gossip every day!"

Many more working professionals left comments echoing these sentiments, filling the screen with genuine and heartwarming reflections:

"I absolutely love Master's livestream time! He specifically chooses to stream at night; he really understands us working folks!"

"After a long day of working like a dog, lying in bed and watching a master's live stream at night instantly cures all fatigue!"

"It's truly a mental tonic! After watching the live stream, I can even eat two extra bowls of rice!"

"The most relaxing moment of my day is watching Master Jing Shu's live stream; all my worries disappear!"

The live stream's popularity soared, with a relaxed yet lively atmosphere as countless people waited quietly, anticipating answers and opportunities tonight.

Shen Jingshu sat quietly in front of the camera, her expression serene, and spoke softly:

Good evening. It's a pleasure to have you here. I'll offer my guidance as the opportunity arises.

The live stream chat was buzzing with comments, as many longtime fans, harboring long-held curiosity, asked a series of questions.

"Good evening, Master! We've been calling you 'Master' for so long, but we still don't know your real name."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm so curious!"

"Don't ask any questions, just focus on watching the fortune-telling livestream!"

Shen Jingshu glanced at the screen full of comments and chuckled softly. Since the start of the show, she had indeed never revealed her surname or given name, always referring to herself as a master. After a moment's thought, she simply told everyone frankly, "My surname is Shen. From now on, you can just call me Master Shen."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat room instantly became lively.

"So it's Master Shen! I'll remember that!"

"I'm so happy to finally know her surname!"

Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, Shen Jingshu lightly tapped the screen and said softly, "I have already distributed the three fortune-telling lucky bags for tonight. Friends who want to ask questions and have their fortunes told, hurry up and participate in the draw."

As soon as the words were spoken, the lucky bags were snatched up instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the three lucky audience members had all secured their bags.

"The three lucky winners can now apply to connect via live stream."

As soon as Shen Jingshu finished speaking, the first request to connect popped up, and she readily accepted the call.

As soon as the video started playing, a very pretty young woman appeared on the screen. However, she was in extremely poor condition. Her face was dull and sallow, her cheeks were bloodless, her lips were pale, and her eyes and brows were filled with exhaustion and haggardness. She was listless and dispirited, clearly suffering from long-term sleep deprivation and mental exhaustion.

This netizen's name is Wanqing.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments, filled with concern and words of advice.

"My goodness, this young lady is so beautiful, but she looks so unwell. It really hurts to see her like this!"

"Don't stay up late and ruin your health at such a young age. No matter how strong you are, you can't withstand that kind of strain."

"Your skin is dull and your complexion is pale; it's obvious that you've been working too hard and not getting enough rest for a long time."

Looking at the heartwarming messages filling the screen, Wan Qing forced a tired smile and softly thanked everyone, "Thank you for your concern. I also want to rest, but I really have no choice."

After saying that, she was about to immediately transfer the money for the divination when Shen Jingshu quickly stopped her, saying, "No rush, just tell me what you want to ask for first."

But Wanqing was stubborn and insisted on transferring the divination fee first, her eyes full of anxiety: "Master Shen, I would like to ask you to help me calculate whether my grandmother can get through this difficult time safely."

"Just send me a photo of your grandmother via private message."

Wanqing immediately did as instructed and quickly sent the photos to the back office.

The viewers in the live stream started discussing the matter, guessing that the elderly person was seriously ill. Seeing the girl's exhausted appearance, they all felt sorry for her and repeatedly praised her sincere filial piety, saying that it was truly rare for her to come all the way to seek divination for her elder.

Shen Jingshu clicked on the photo and examined it closely. The elderly man in the picture had kind eyes and a benevolent face, and at a glance, he seemed to be a kind-hearted and gentle person who had lived a long life. Just by looking at his face and the flow of his aura, she had already made up her mind.

She looked up at Wanqing on the other end of the camera and slowly said, "Before answering your question about your grandmother, let me ask you something first: are you going out to work part-time tomorrow?"

Wanqing was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded emphatically, her eyes instantly reddening, her voice choked with emotion: "That's right, I've been working like crazy every day lately to earn money. My grandmother is seriously ill and hospitalized, and the medical expenses are enormous."

She paused, then poured out her heart: "My parents tragically died in a car accident when I was young. For so many years, only my grandmother and I have depended on each other. Now my grandmother has fallen ill and needs a large sum of money for treatment."

At this point, all the grievances and pressure that had accumulated over the past few days surged into her heart. The girl held back her tears, her thin body revealing an indescribable loneliness and helplessness.

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly, then asked, "I'm not talking about your usual side jobs, but the new part-time job your friend specifically recommended for you to do tomorrow, right?"

Wan Qing looked utterly astonished, her eyes widening in disbelief: "That's right! Master Shen, how could you even calculate this?"
